A Clinical Nutritionist has a Bachelor in Health Science degree where human biology, biochemistry, pathophysiology, pathology, nutritional medicine, and traditional healing aspects are learned.
Ongoing professional education in the latest evidence based research is required to maintain our association membership and ensure we are providing optimal care.
Clinical Nutritionists are trained with a holistic approach to healing which is basically looking at the sum of all parts and recognising that our body's systems, environment, mental health, sleep and stress are all interconnected.
Understanding the underlying cause of your symptoms and aiming to support your body's innate ability to heal with natural medicine is our goal.
We consider your age, gender, lifestyle, diet, environment, genetics, history...all play a part in what makes you - YOU, and where your health concerns are now.
Dietary and lifestyle modifications are recommended to support your health goals - remember food is medicine!
Sometimes supplements will be prescribed, depending on your specific needs at this time and budget. We may also request some blood tests or functional testing for further insight.
We provide a treatment plan working with you to implement some strategies to meet prioritised goals.
A Clinical Nutritionist will help you understand the "why" behind your symptoms and how a nutritional treatment plan may help.
Whole foods contain their own unique nutritional profile with a variety of components including vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals with some incredible nourishing capacities. We can harness specific foods to meet your requirements and boost your body's healing response.
This is not a quick fix or band-aid for symptoms. Follow up consultations are an important part of the plan so we can monitor and evaluate your progress. Tweaking strategies may be required depending on how your body responds. Regular check-ins will help keep you on track too.
